In the Fall of 2021, I investigated the concepts of territory and threshold as they are relevant in both architecture and society in Professor Curry Hackett’s studio. My final project was to design a public theatre in Knoxville’s World’s Fair Park that would engage the local community by blurring the threshold of public and private experience. Performances could be experienced from within the dome-like structure or through apertures on the exterior, but individuals viewing the performance in this way could still be seen by other spectators in the park, causing their private experience to then become public to everyone else.
Curry Hackett’s studio also allowed me to learn post-digital representation via collage, which I still utilize today.
